**My Card Co's National Distributorship Network** There is a development going on in TSIG.com within the My Card Co's Products and Services Division that will produce a tremendous aid to the sales and service of the card products. The addition of the National Distributorship Network into the marketing focus of TSIG.com's My Card Co's marketing plans will be the biggest addition to the placement of card sales throughout the entire system. Understanding the impact of this added local emphasis national network for the promotion and placement of additional sales and existing contracts is of the utmost importance to getting the better picture of the potential impact of the total Card exposure into the near entire population. For the minor distributorship licensing/contracting fee of $30,000 and a contractual agreement, the distributor is assigned a territory and goes into business. He then prints or is sent promotional and sales materials, establishes his office, and begins his contact activities. Just think of the avenues he has available My Card Co does not. He can do the local advertising through the local print and video media. He can also place sales handouts in agreeable businesses and as inserts or adds in mailers. These distributors are in business to make a living from their efforts as this should be their full line of business. Therefore promoting sales of the My Card Co's products will be their lifeblood. Imagine, at full saturation, approximately 300 of these distributors blanketing the United States striving to make contact and promote to sale the My Card Co's line of products. This gives the capability of My Card Co having, in addition to the national sales reach of the home office, the local small town business effect. These distributors will be contacting the local based businesses, charities, and event based operations for the sale and promotion of the Card products. There will be a person available to call locally and request or be offered the privilege of personal in person contact and explanation. The salesman aspect is a tremendous exponential plus. Now the additional BIG plus. The My Card Co is working diligently to complete and implement the national reach sponsorships for the My Card sales. Obviously there can not be the personal contact made for the direct informational and instructional meeting to all the various promoters and offices in the country for all the deals, including even phone contact. There are just too many of them. Consider already 43,000 teams in the Babe Ruth organization and the more than one call necessary to each. Also the calls to contact the 100,000 schools with the principals, music dept heads, and PTA heads. These guys can do it and gladly. Now we have someone locally to answer questions and offer support. Use something you all understand as an example. There is a Babe Ruth league comprised of teams. They have been fund raising in a certain manner for some years. Along comes a better and new approach. How do the learn about it other than an instructional manual? Does someone from the Babe Ruth organization explain it to them and/or tell them to do this program? Does someone from the My Card Co call or visit them to explain and convince them to adopt the new approach? Can someone from the local level and a citizen of the community call and stop by to visually explain the new program and convince and aid in setting the ball rolling? Which is the better and more productive situation? I certainly hope the investors can see the tremendous advantage of the National Distributorship Network. I also hope the visualization of the increased sales closings generated by this network of independent representatives is apparent in its potentiality. I feel the closings of the national sponsorships will at least have the potential of doubling, or better. Add the sales generated due to the exposure on the local level and the closing drive of the representatives to bring the local population's interests into play which is the large untouched aspect of the population as TSIG.com sits right now. Think of the impact of this network on TSIG. There is up to $10,000,000 in cash up front for the franchise fees. The distributors work for maximum effect as they are paid by commission on Card sales. Since they want to provide for their families, they will be striving diligently. They will be willing to help generate the maximum for the nationally produced contracted sponsors of the Card that have any event exposure in their areas. The will also be giving the local business aspect of the My Card Co to their communities through their interaction with the local population. The contracts are, about now, being sent to the approx 35 distributors that are ready to go. I assume talks with others are taking place. Once started further expansion will continue as more are contracted. The network should be up and running with the contracted distributors by June. I see this as the biggest growth item being implemented. This distributorship network has the potential of doubling the output of the My Card Co when it reaches full capacity. Think about it. As always--My opinion Bob

Jerry, many thanks for sharing some significant good news with us! While TSIG has had many important announcements recently, some of us are itching to hear about some card deals. You may not be a PR guy, but you could be, IMO. Around the country there are countless groups like the Wisconsin Firefighters' Memorial people who need to raise money. For example, a group in my hometown is trying to save the old high school, a large building with historical significance sitting in the middle of a small town. It will take time to make these contacts, strike the deals, and ramp up the card sales. Because of the sheer numbers of these small-medium sized groups, there is a huge potential market out there. You sounded two alarms for us, the first being the lack of contracts for the distributors. If memory serves, TSIG unwound the CCI deal last November(?). The MyMusicCard name was introduced soon after. At that point, it was known that the company planned to have a network of distributors. Could we not have had a contract for these distributors in 6 months? My understanding is that these distributors will pay significant franchise fees to TSIG which would result in considerable upfront revenue. Heaven knows that could be put to use! Your second siren warned us about customer service. We are all too aware that there were shipping delays in the early days of the new web site. Most recent reports on the thread have generally stated that the CD's arrived in an acceptable time period. This is an area in which we shareholders could do a lot to help ourselves. The company needs constant feedback on customer service issues associated with the web site. The MyMusicCard web site must be comparable or superior to the competition's web sites. Ditto for customer service. Jerry, you eloquently stated the need for excellent customer service to enhance the distributors' ability to sell MusicCards. Yet there is another very important reason that the web site and associated customer service must be top notch. The MyMusicCard site is the showcase site for John Hwang's Online Services division. No one here doubts his abilities. The MyMusicCard site is being pointed to as an example of his ability to produce a first-class version of a very complicated web site. The Online Services division is using the MyMusicCard web site as part of their sales pitch. The company needs our feedback on the web site. I have read many posts on RB and here on SI from people who are depressed and angry about the money they have "lost" on TSIG stock. While I have many thoughts on this subject, I'll restrict my comments to those which are relevant to this discussion. Anyone who is anxious about his investment in TSIG can choose to whine, blame the company, and curse at strangers in a public forum because the stock price has not performed to his expectations. Or, that anxious person could choose to take on a project, no matter how small, that would contribute to the company in some way. Taking on a project will help alleviate your anxiety. Everybody reading this message has the capability of going to mymusiccard.com and giving the company some feedback. Or whine, curse, and be profane. Your call. Jerry, thanks again for the report on progress in Wisconsin. I appreciate your taking the time to bring these matters to our attention. I hope to hear you have a contract soon. Regards, Suzanne
